Uvalde Residents Angered By Yellow Cops!

The terrorist had an opportunity to kill as many as he could.

Be warned, the video is graphic.

The Texas Department of Safety released the footage of the Robb Elementary mass shooting. The footage was slightly edited to avoid the footage of the terrorist killing children in the hallways and classrooms. It did show the cops were outgunned and too afraid to face the terrorist.

It took nearly an hour before they took out the threat.

The video, which was recorded in a hallway and obtained and edited by the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV of Austin, shows the officers arriving at Robb Elementary School at 11:36 a.m. May 24, three minutes after the gunman was seen entering the school and walking down an empty hallway. 

About 20 seconds after the 18-year-old gunman is seen entering the school, he turns to his left and opens fire on a classroom. 

Authorities have said he fired at least 100 shots with an AR-15-style rifle into adjoining classrooms filled mostly with fourth graders.

Chillingly, a student who KVUE reported had been in the bathroom — and was just steps behind the gunman — could be seen in the video running from the gunfire after watching the initial burst of shots.

The American-Statesman reported that the student was rescued later.

About a minute later, after several officers approach the classroom, a second burst of gunfire can be heard, and an officer can be seen racing down the hall. Two others slowly follow him.

It isn't clear what agencies the officers were from. Local, state and federal agencies involved in the response didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening.

In the hour that followed the second round of shots, the video shows the number of officers inside the hallway swelling.

At 12:21, several officers with tactical gear can be seen approaching the classroom, yet it isn't until 12:50 that officers enter and fatally shoot the gunman.

While officers are waiting, one can be seen rubbing what appears to be sanitizer on his hands after he crossed the hall to get to a wall-mounted dispenser.

Texas Gov. Karen Abbott told KVUE last week that the video "needs to be released" to show "exactly what happened."

In a statement Tuesday, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw blasted the release, saying the video should have been seen first by those hit hardest by the massacre.

"I am deeply disappointed this video was released before all of the families who were impacted that day and the community of Uvalde had the opportunity to view it," he said in a statement on the department's website.

Texas failed the victims of Robb Elementary.

In an editorial published Tuesday, the American-Statesman said it published the video "to continue to bring to light what happened at Robb Elementary, which the families and friends of the Uvalde victims have long been asking for."

At a hearing with lawmakers last month, McCraw described the response to the shooting as an "abject failure and antithetical to everything we've learned over the last two decades since the Columbine massacre."

"The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from [entering rooms] 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children," he said.

The person state officials have identified as the commander, Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, told The Texas Tribune last month that he considered himself a front-line officer and not the one managing the response.

"I didn’t issue any orders," he told The Tribune. "I called for assistance and asked for an extraction tool to open" the locked classroom door.

Arredondo, who has been on leave from the school district since June 22, resigned July 2 from the seat he won this year on the Uvalde City Council.
